    My new Daily Driver..4 banger!!!

    So I have been without a ride for quite some time and was missing the thrill of driving an e30. Let me tell you the story...
    While I had my first e30, I had always seen this older dude with a 91 late model alpine e30 show up at my job and park next to mine while he came into the store. We started talking and we got along. He would go on and on on how he loved the car and would never part with it and so on...
    One day he shows up and tells me hes not in a good place and that he was going to sell the car!! He had two choices, keep her in a garage for a long time or sell her. He did not want to sell to just anyone so he gave me first dibs!! "I know she would be in good hands" he said while he was about to tear... I told him that I was working on a new project and that I really had no $$ but that i would find her a good home. Then he told me, the price he would sell her to me for, and that just opened my eyes. So I had to do it!! She is a good 5 footer but has all the potential.
    Let me stop blabing and just show you the pics...

    Two days after I got it.


    How she looks now.







    So far I changed the IS spoiler, Clay bar and buff, billy sports and votgland springs(how ever they are spelled), Vert sport seats, wheel barrings, Tie rods, control arms, added some Lucas cause shes got 230k on the clock and the oil was looking kinda SHOT!!. Might consider head gasket or just run her till she dies. I have an extra m42 laying around with 109k on it.
    Thanks for looking.
